"O God, I could be bounded in a nut shell and count myself
a king of infinite space,
were it not that I have bad dreams."

Ambam

You must have seen this news story. Ambam, the thirty four stone lowland gorilla at Port Lympne Wildlife Park in Kent, England has astounded observers by getting up on his hind legs occasionally and walking like a man. It is believed that he is simply mimicking his human captors or perhaps he finds his increased height useful for observing the impending arrival of food. Well if Ambam can do this, I am going to start harrumphing down the street on all fours!

Bob has a well-used gorilla suit I could send you, if you really want an authentic experience. It even has "hands" so you won't get your knuckles dirty. I believe it smells of beer, though, and it can't be cleaned. Would that be a problem?
